"After
40 days of continuous antibiotic treatment, the PATIENT'S BLOOD was
collected for analysis. At that time, the patient experienced headache,
neck pain, back pain, panic attacks, depression, dizziness, vision
problems and numbness or tingling in the extremities, sleep problems,
tinnitus and shortness of breath. Lyme IgM and IgG Western blot
(Labcorp) tests conducted on the same blood samples were negative. The
three patients presented were all seronegative according to the current CDC surveillance definition of LB, yet B. B. burgdorferi s.l. WAS ISOLATED FROM EACH OF THEM."
"We report the first recovery of live B. burgdorferi sensu stricto from
residents of southeastern USA and the first successful cultivation of
live Borrelia bisettii-like strain from residents of North America. Our
results support the fact that
B. bissettiiis responsible for human Lyme borreliosis worldwide along with B. burgdorferis.s. The involvement of new spirochaete species in Lyme borreliosis changes the understanding and recognition of clinical manifestations of this disease."
